Surgery fund for Nazrul: emergency hernia repair in Sylhet
Nazrul needs emergency hernia repair at Sylhet Community Hospital and the family is $250 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇧🇩 Sylhet, Sylhet, Bangladesh712 views
Nazrul was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in November. The surgeon at Sylhet Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $310, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $250 short.
my husband has been in and out of Sylhet Community Hospital since November. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $310 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nazrul struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Nazrul won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $250 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $160
• Physiotherapy sessions: $40
• Post-operative medication: $5

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Sylhet. I'll ask around and let you know!
how is Nazrul doing now?
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Nazrul a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 15 people at work
Sending strength, Shapla. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 20 people at work. All the best.
